Consider the following two situations:
1. You have started a DarkCoin masternode, there were 800 masternodes at that time so you were receiving reward every 500 blocks. After some time there are 1600 masternodes and you receive reward 2x less frequently, to receive the same income you will now need to start another masternode and invest another 1000 DRK. Other people starting masternodes will affect you even if there is no limit on number of masternodes.
2. Imagine DarkCoin has a limit of 2000 masternodes and market-determined deposit amount. You are afraid that this mechanism will make it too expensive to run a masternode but instead it would make it cheaper than 1000 DRK in current situation since there are only 1777 masternodes.

Wouldn't the price of having a masternode keep going up then? Yes, it will until it will reach some market-dictated price. In fact it is not a "price" because you don't loose your money, you just can't use them as long as you are running the masternode. Mr. Spread, also would we be able to add some coins to our masternode after it has gone live to keep it in the game? The way I'm implementing it right now, you will need to resend you funds (with some additional amount of course) to yourself. So you will need to shutdown your masternode and then start it again. This has the disadvantage that you will not receive payments for some time because there will be some period before your masternode will be elected again after shutdown. |

For me as a software developer / artist, I would love the ability of someone sending me money anonymously, and me sending him information back (e.g. serial number, download link, whatever) to his wallet.
Without him having to give me ANY ADDITIONAL information whatsoever.
Mr.Spread just explained a few posts earlier that this can't work like that, you need to broadcast atleast SOMETHING additional, your address will not suffice. It can work by broadcasting this additional information but this will require some additional actions from those who will want to receive messages, what you want is simpler though, by signing transaction you make your public key known, this should be enough to encrypt a message. But some people may send you money not from the wallet but from an exchange which will probably just ignore such messages. |

Amount for running masternode hasn't been set yet. It depends on how many masternodes we want which is not yet clear. The more is better for decentralization, on the other hand we need not to bloat the network with masternode related messages. Instead of setting the required amount it may be better to set the maximum number of masternodes and minimum required amount. Once the number of masternodes will reach the maximum only masternodes with maximum deposits will remain and others will be automatically delisted.
So if I understand this idea you're saying "No required amount of SPR is needed, put whatever SPR you believe should be enough to run a masternode into your masternode" and then when we are at what appears to be a maximum amount of masternodes you then 'draw the line' for required SPR and then everyone who has more than that amount in their masternode will need to remove their SPR to go down to that requirement and everyone who is short of that amount will need to increase their SPR to meet it? Sort of like a market-created masternode requirement based on what is technically needed and what the market players are willing to pay. If I'm anywhere near what you mean, I like it. JL This is not like there are some distinct phases: first everyone sends money, then we select masternodes. No, it is a continuous process, you look at what amounts current masternodes have, you see that the top masternode has 1500 SPR and the bottom one has only 1200 SPR, you put, say, 1300 SPR to your masternode, you will be added to the list of masternodes, the bottom masternode will be excluded and others will be unaffected. |

When you type getinfo in the console is the money supply correct?
There is no decimal dot, will be fixed in next version. |

I'm working on decentralized (no reference nodes) masternodes and instant transactions. I hope that by the end of this month or sooner we will have public testnet with working masternodes and instant transactions, all code will be open sourced by that moment. DarkSend is much more complicated subject, don't expect it soon. Amount for running masternode hasn't been set yet. It depends on how many masternodes we want which is not yet clear. The more is better for decentralization, on the other hand we need not to bloat the network with masternode related messages. Instead of setting the required amount it may be better to set the maximum number of masternodes and minimum required amount. Once the number of masternodes will reach the maximum only masternodes with maximum deposits will remain and others will be automatically delisted. I'll go ALL IN when spreadcoin gets its encrypted in-wallet messaging system. I WANT IT SO MUCH!  I was thinking about it. The problem is that given only address you can not encrypt message such that only owner of the address will be able to decrypt it, address is only suitable for checking signatures. Thus address owner should broadcast some additional information to be able to receive messages, I believe Bitmessage is working this way so it is possible. Well, as you know, I'm working on other things right now |

OK got around to testing this on a fresh Mint 17 install. 1. ./INSTALL seems to call the arch scripts or something, I got a load of pacman not present errors. 2. So I ran each sgminer#.in script separately, #1 through #3 deleted all the sgminer scripts so I had to git clone them again each time. 3. Having successfully run them all, started and synced the wallet with the correct stuff in the .conf file, ./spreadgpu (and calling it directly via ./sgminer blah blah) gave me llvm errors:  ... I think that any attempt at 1-click in-wallet GPU mining is going to result in never-ending misery, there's just too much to go wrong.  Miner doesn't work with certain Catalyst driver versions. There is some bug in Catalyst, it crashes with "LLVM ERROR: Cannot select". It doesn't depend on whether you are on Windows or Linux, it depends only on Catalyst version. |

I heard a blockexplorer within the wallet is underway?
How is the progress?
Currently working, accessible under Tools in the wallet. It's just block by block and trasactions, I can't seem to look up addresses - just make a conf with The explorer on multifaucet.tk can take a while to update individual addresses Edit: and yes, that's the right wallet version You can also set This way you will be able to look up all transactions to/from any address. Mr. Spread, can you provide high resolution version of the logo and what font you use?
I want to try create some memes/animations.
Thanks.
There are 512x512 and svg versions: https://github.com/spreadcoin-project/spreadcoin.net/tree/gh-pages/logoEDIT: The font is montserrat. |

I also want to know how the the net hashrate are calculated.
Divide the work required to generate last 120 blocks by the time interval it took to generate these blocks. |
|
|
|
If you know about how solo mining can affect masternodes then you can PM me or post it here. I haven't received any messages about it. Regarding hashrate distribution chart, it was asked some time ago: Also, are there any nethash analysis/distribution tools available, possible, in the pipeline?
Due to more decentralized nature it is harder to perform such analysis for SpreadCoin. You need to monitor which node will be the first to broadcast the block. For Bitcoin you can just connect to all major pools which is not a problem as they probably are running on a good servers. Since there are no pools in SpreadCoin you will need to connect to as many nodes as you can and still the fact that some node was the first to broadcast some block doesn't mean that this block was mined by this node, it may be just distributing block which was mined by node to which you are not connected. Many computers in internet are behind NAT or don't accept incoming connections for some other reasons, the only way to be connected to such nodes is if they will connect to you which may never happen. This doesn't mean that it is impossible but hashrate distribution analysis may be less reliable than in cryptocurrencies with pools. No such analysis is available yet. You can try to search blockchain for the same mining addresses but by default each new block is mined on a different address. |

I just saw this, but i gotta go to bed. http://www.coinwarz.com/voting0.5BTC for 1000 votes, worth raising that in here to get added to coinwarz. EDIT: I have put an address in my sig to fund the coinwarz vote. If we raise 0.5btc worth of spread i will add around 0.05 myself, if 0.75 i will add 0.12. 0.55btc, would take us to 1100 votes, 0.87 would be 1750 votes, putting us at a hefty lead. I don't see SpreadCoin in the voting list |

I'll donate 5 SPR to 40 different people in this thread who have 25+ posts if airball posts proof that he has more than 50,000 SPR.
I don't think he does.
If you're planning to sell size, advertising as much isn't exactly the smartest thing to do. I think he is hoping to shake out weak hands.
I can prove it very easily with solid evidence I have 50K+ spr. 40*5=200 how about let's have a bet? I'll give you 3 addresses whose total balance is 60K+ spr. of course you can check those public addresses from the block explorer. To prove I own those wallets,I'll send 200/3=66.66 spr from each of them into the same address. If I can do this above,you pay me 200 spr. if not,I pay you 200spr. fair enough? want to bet or not? File -> Sign Message, File -> Verify Message, you can use it to prove that you control some address, no need to send coins. |

Does the miner subjected only to 64 bit win?
Provided binary of AMD miner is 32-bit and is supposed to work on 32-bit Windows but I didn't test it. |
|
|
|
So, all my work to make it unnecessary to create spreadcoin.conf was useless? With the latest wallet you don't need to create it anymore, with the latest AMD miner you also don't need to specify address, username and password in the argument list, for Nvidia miner use spreadminer -o 127.0.0.1:41677 -u AnyUsername -p AnyPassword |
|
|
|
I think I know the answer to this but I'm going to ask anyway.
Are we limited to only using the provided miners? Is the software open source?
I'm having difficulty getting the miners to work on non standard farms. Its a shame that ordinary X11 can't be used...it would stimulate adoption and distribution of the coin.
These miners are open source, links to their sources are in OP. The problems with non standard farms maybe related to the fact that there is a limit by default on how many miners you can connect to one wallet. Its a shame that ordinary X11 can't be used. Ordinary X11 would imply pools. |

Ive only got my pc set up no true rig. Ive supported other coins before but only with pools never solo. Im set up now with cudamuner and just replace my gpus code withthe pools info. Im at work now but ill be off in 4 hours. Ill write up a setup guide when I get home. Maybe we can schedule an IRC meeting and get some group assistance to speed things up a bit?
You will need nvminer to mine this coin with Nvidia cards. As of now that is the only miner supporting this coin. I guess it is also possible to mine with sgminer (which is called AMD miner in OP) on Nvidia cards. At least it works on integrated Intel GPU, I was able to get around 40 kh/s from it, didn't tried it on Nvidia cards though. |

I had tried the latest version and now it just didn't show any error but just closes when any key's been pressed.
Really hard to say why this is happening, I tried latest drivers at it works for me. It doesn't output any information at all? |

X11 ASICs and FPGAs will not be usable for SpreadCoin. They will require some non-trivial modifications. Well when I run my miner it says #include blake.cl and then shuts down??? any ideas why this might be? I have the amd 14.9 catalyst thingy as well For me this happens when I try to mine on integrated Intel GPU. Try to run: It will print you all your devices on which you can mine, you will see if there is an AMD card. |

I haven't ever done solo mining before.
Can someone help me to mine with a few R9-280x's.
Thanks
plz take a look at README.txt in the miner folder.It's very easy to follow. When i open the start.bat file, the miner crashes. Am having amd latest version. Can you post me the batch file input settings? Thanks in advance. Does it output any error? If it exits immediately and you cannot see what it prints then just add the following line to the end of start.bat: I get " In function: __OpenCL_signature1_kernel " what's the version of your AMD driver? 14.10.1006-140417a-171099C  This looks similar to what we got with pre 14.9 drivers:  Looks like AMD has introduced another bug in their driver. The version that is known to work is 14.9. Does it work with latest drivers: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064If not, I will try to contact AMD about this bug, maybe they will try to not break SpreadCoin miner anymore. |
